4. REMOTE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

The X-Terminal used for operations and maintenance of the Cellworx STN network can be linked through existing customer Ethernet networks using TCP/IP over any transport layer (e.g. Frame Relay, ATM, Private Line, etc.) Refer to Figure 1-14 for an example.

Figure 1-14. Remote X-Terminal Operations

The network operator can use any workstation with a standard X-Windows platform or a PC with X-Terminal emulation to remotely access the network, launch the GUI, and monitor or troubleshoot the Cellworx STN ring network. The operator can remotely connect to a node via Telnet session through the NMIC, and use craft menus to retrieve alarm and performance information. These functions are performed utilizing IP addresses set up for each node at turn up.

Messaging between remote nodes and the GNE NMIC is performed by targeting the NE’s IP address. Many existing network components (BSS, ATM Switches, frame relay switches, and routers) can also be pulled up on the same X-Terminal for maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities.
